Romantic Carpet Picnic In Your Living Room - You Won't Say No To That
We know, it's been long since you've had this on your mind and trust me on this, it is nothing but bringing some of your fantasies alive! Also, heading anywhere else on New Year's will only get you so much of privacy with the special one in your life or will cost you a fortune to do so. So this NYE 2020, if you've not booked anything yet, just don't! Instead, bring out that extra mattress you've got, cover it with a bright new bedsheet, light up a few candles, the scented ones preferably, arrange for a bottle of wine and just cosy up with the love of your life. We can bet on this, it's going to be much more exciting than anything else that the night could have been.

Invite Your Friends Over For A BYOB Night - Akele Peene Mein Kya Maza?
New year's eve and not much booze on you? Not something to worry about my friend! Just make sure you are inviting some of your forever alone friends over for a party. And the theme is going to be as usually BYOB. Also, just make sure to ask some of them to bring extra for those who would drink more and bring less. All you'll need to do is arrange for some fritters and fries for chakhna and your portable Bluetooth speakers would make for the DJ for the night. And voila, you're game for a great NYE 2020, a last-minute plan but surely one of the best ever. Keeping a board game handy would only add to the fun you'll have, or a pack of cards would work just fine. So make sure to ask your friends to bring over that as well. Obviously, you won't have anything as such, we know that!

Jott Down A Travel Bucket List For The Next Decade - To Never Actually Get To It
You've done this in the past and never actually ticked off anything from it, but so is the case going to be this once as well. Because Who are we? Stubborn! What did we do in 2019? Nothing! What will we do in 2020? Nothing Again! Apart from making plans that never come to see reality! And to cook some dreams of travel the world is one of those things that we always do but never realise them to be true. But this once we would, you know, make a travel bucket list, put in places that we've always wanted to be, places we talk about with our friends, places we imagine to be at when we're drunk and the next morning, all of which vanishes away in thin air. So why not, pick a notebook, a pen and get down jotting those places and spend hours arranging the list on the scale of priority and so.

Dance To The Funniest Govinda & Bollywood Songs - This Is Your Chance!
And who wouldn't love shaking a leg to those funny Govinda songs from the 90s? No one's around to judge you tonight and hence, just put on that old pyjama and that ugly sweater that you won't mind getting torn apart during the act and just dance till the morning this New Year's Eve. It's a perfect medicine to push your NYE loneliness away. So this once, just groove to the funniest of tunes and try those steps that you wanted to, but couldn't dare for the judgmental souls among. And if the confidence builds up by the end of it, do record some of them as well. Would be fun enough to watch afterwards, but remember to be utterly careful with such lethal stuff, your social image can be devastated if any of it gets out.
